Stef wrote close to 5000 stories during his time as Assistant Online News Editor and, later, as Online News Editor at Louder's former incarnation, TeamRock, between 2014-2016. An accomplished reporter and journalist, Stef has written extensively for a number of UK newspapers including The Herald and the Glasgow Times, and also played bass with UK rock favourites Logan. His favourite bands are Pixies and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Stef left the world of rock'n'roll news behind when he moved to his beloved Canada in 2016, setting just outside of Toronto, Ontario. He returned to Louder as a contributing news writer in late 2022, with his next 5,000 stories now firmly in his sights.
